Stephen Mullane - Carpe Night As Well (So Dance)

Last night you said, "I didn't live life. Life lived me."
Silly, that's because you ignored the tapping of your feet
And in your times of trouble, you meekly called on god
And while your soul was searching, you were missing what you got, alright

And you say your glass is half gone, and the world's all too much
Don't you see the ice cubes swimming and dancing in your cup?
Don't look up "carpe diem"; if you don't know, there's no time
Just take a sip and smile, feel the dance down inside, alright?

Don't, don't worry if you step on my toes
Because I know how this dance goes

Better find someone to laugh with as the moon slowly falls
Before the big joke reloads and laughs at us all
You may as well dance and giggle your own way
So your voice and your groove never become a cliche, no, no

Don't, don't you worry if you step on my toes
Because I know how this dance goes

How many times have you heard, "you should live like you were dying"
But how many people do you know who are really trying?
Or how many prayers cast their lot with tomorrow?
Missing the point with a head full of sorrow

But are you really happy with yourself today?
And where you gonna be when you see we cannot stay?
You may as well be dancing until the morning puts you away
You may as well be laughing, and you may as well play while you can

'Cause life is too short
Yeah, I say life is too short for carpe diem

We need the night as well, we need the night as well
We need the night as well, we need the night as well
Better find someone to dance with, and grab their hips so tight
And burn up like the stars who are laughing for the night
And as the world darkens, everything's gonna be alright
So you may as well be laughing and dancing through the night, alright

Where you gonna be when you see we need the night?
